No final compensation award yet
The judgment records agreed sums already owed and percentage adjustments for unfair dismissal, but it does not set out the final unfair-dismissal compensation figure.
Any figure in the judgment may reflect agreed pay, holiday pay, wages or expenses rather than the final compensation award.
Case Summary
The claimant was dismissed from her position as a Community Support Worker on 30 September 2024 after approximately 3 years and 9 months of employment. She claimed unfair dismissal and detriments arising from the making of protected disclosures. The tribunal found the unfair dismissal complaint well-founded but dismissed the complaint of detriment for making protected disclosures. The case was adjourned to a remedy hearing to determine compensation, including consideration of Polkey, ACAS Code adjustments, and contributory fault.
Why this outcome?
One claim dismissed on the meritsThe tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed because the respondent failed to follow fair and reasonable disciplinary procedures. The protected disclosure complaint was dismissed because the tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant made qualifying disclosures under section 43B of the Employment Rights Act 1996 or that any detriments were suffered for making such disclosures.
